Rule of the Right #79845435: It's not nice to fool Mother Mangalangdadiddlylangda.
Some idiot apparently made an anti-war video, fooling some of the people some of the time. Michelle's panties are perma-twisted so you know she got to the bottom of this tomfoolery.
Meet "Jessie MacBeth." He's the latest cause celebre of the anti-war Left -- a "former Army Ranger and Iraq war veteran" who accuses his fellow troops of committing a litany of atrocities against innocent civilians. Anti-Vietnam War veteran John Kerry and the Winter Soldiers cast a long shadow.yadda yadda (...)
Anti-war zealots initially defended the bogus soldier's tale, but are now moving quickly to cover up the MacBeth stain. The video was yanked Tuesday afternoon. But not to worry.
I hear former CBS producer Mary Mapes, champion of "fake but accurate" journalism, is interested in publicizing Jessie MacBeth's tall tales.
Interesting... the zealots don't seem to show up in the top 20 Google searches, just angry posturing that smacks of a few right-wingers who, spoiling for a fight, found themselves on the wrong end of a prank.
The longer we keep our troops deployed in an underplanned death trap the odds of an eventual video being made that actually is true, increases dramatically. At least something's keeping these folks busy... it'd be a shame for them to spend their time worrying about the war itself instead of its portrayal.
monkeypants -- can you explain the prank? link is too convoluted to follow without devoting hours to the task -- neighborhood slacker
